He is fine, he needs playing time. This is just his first start of the season. But don't use him as a wingback, use him as a winger. Switch to a three-men front line and rotate like:
Yildiz - Vlaho - Chiesa
Iling - Milik - Soule
Our budget would still be tight this summer so make every penny count, spend it on midfielders and fullbacks.
All said, we need a new coach to make that happen.
Even with his limitations, his sheer pace and strength make him more useful than current Kostic. And he is clearly more comfortable with the ball than Weah.
he should be converted from the embarrassing left wing back with defensive responsibilities role to attacking winger. this is only possible with a human being in charge.
not a good game, he's weak physically, lost every duel i can recall, dribbled past too the quick and mighty zappacosta zero times. still not a fan of iling
with that said, why was it his first start of the season, in mid march, especially if we want to sell him?
It's no coincidence that all of these young attacking players start off so brightly with us showing lots of creativity and offering us something wild and different that we don't see from any of our regular players.
Then after more time spent with he first team they get Allegrified.
At least he did do well in turning and keeping the ball for more than a few seconds to then put in a decent cross for McKennie to lay it off for Milik’s goal.

I think we are giving him more minutes now to potentially maximize his value for the summer mercatto.
